I'm thinking of going on a solo trip to Thailand next year or with one my friends from LA whose been there, going alone basically lets you go and do whatever you want without having to wait for anyone else. I just think if you travel it just depends you want or expect from it.

I don't really get why people stay in super expensive places abroad, especially when you can easily hook up an apartment these days online

Well part of vacation is to get away or to celebrate so it makes sense in that aspect. Five stars can still be had for not much more especially if you are going with another person. Apartment / hostel doesn't always add up to be a good value

Hemingway got it right with "Never go on trips with anyone you do not love"

Though I usually would plan it where you meet up with friends on every leg, so you can connect a bit but also have your own personal time. Think longest time I'e enjoyed without issues would be maybe 5 days with close friends, anything else after a weekend I'm already a bit annoyed most of the time

i had 3 pairs of cheap sennheisers, but they only lasted about 3 monts each
then i switched to AKG (austrian company) and Pioneer,they seem to last much longer
sound-quality is on par with the sub 30$ sennheisers
